Use

compute weight;

instead of

compute name;

Why? Because in a compute block in PROC REPORT, you can only use variable names that are the variable named in the compute block and variables in the COLUMNS statement to the left of that variable. It cannot use variables named in the COLUMNS statement to the right of that variable. When you use compute name; it can use NAME and variables to the left of name in the COLUMNS statement (and there are none); when you use compute weight; it can use all the variables because every other variable is to the left of weight.

Thanks @Paige Miller.
